One million tests shows how seriously UAE takes coronavirus
In reference to Juman Jarallah's report Coronavirus: UAE conducts more than one million Covid-19 tests (April 25): this shows how seriously the UAE's leaders are taking the matter of testing. It makes people feel safe. A vast country like India too has so far managed to handle the spread. All administrations must continue to take the pandemic seriously to save lives.

A favourite haunt closes its doors
In reference to Janice Rodrigues's piece 'It was the perfect neighbourhood restaurant': Kizmet, next to Dubai Opera, closes permanently (April 27): devastated for them and us. It was one of my favourite restaurants.
Tala Badri, Dubai
This is absolutely terrible and very sad. One of our favourite restaurants. Staff, food and ambience was fabulous and was always a great evening after the Opera House.

Boris Johnson delivers a rousing speech on his return to work
With reference to Nicky Harley's report UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson: 'We are beginning to turn the tide, but it is the moment of maximum risk' (April 27): that was a nice encouraging speech by the Prime Minister.
Bukenya Sulaiman, Kampala, Uganda
It's amazing that Boris Johnson came back in just one car. It is not unusual in Nigeria for one politician to move around in a cavalcade of a dozen cars.
